Thread: Hey, Tony!

Any word on another order for those German stones that got lost?

I have a batch of real Thuringens enroute now, not the larger Hunsruecks I had before. While the ones I sold were very good stones my fallout rate when I grade them is 50% and even at my $65 (2x8) and $100 (3x10) prices, was not cost effective. With potential customers on a waitlist I would get an entire shipment that was not sellable and would have to wait weeks for another that may be perfect.
While I will probably continue with that type of stone I can't do the waitlist thing any longer. If I get good ones I'll list them, if not no one is waiting around for something that might not happen. I do have a vintage stone of eBay now.

I really prefer selling a sure thing that's in my hands instead of asking customers to wait forever. I have my occasional delays but try to limit out of stock conditions on my own products to a week at best. On that note <g>, my diamond sprays are finally being made. I'm bottling a small number as a trial to see how well received they are and await customer feedback. I know they work well for me but everyone is different.
